It depends on the local legislation in your country. Inkjin operates in Greece, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, and complies with the legal requirements in each country.
In Greece, it is strictly prohibited to tattoo anyone under the age of 18, even with parental consent. This is clearly defined in national law. Tattooing minors is considered a legal offense and is not allowed under any circumstance.
In the UK, the law is also very clear: under the Tattooing of Minors Act 1969, it is illegal to tattoo anyone under 18, even with parental consent. There are no exceptions, except for tattoos performed for medical purposes by licensed medical professionals.
In Sweden, there is no national law setting a legal minimum age for tattoos. However, parents are legally responsible for minors, and most professional tattoo studios will not tattoo anyone under 18 without parental consent. Many follow industry guidelines that discourage or prohibit tattooing minors altogether, even if the law does not.
If you're under 18, you should always check your country’s specific laws and the policies of the tattoo studio or artist you’re considering.
